another very impressive half. only disappointment for me is summerville. consistently lost the ball or failed to give it early enough. Great signs though

Bamford hamstring injury though week before season starts is a blow considering we’re short up front. Rutter pulled a muscle too after playing quite well. Thought James did pretty well, his disallowed goal was a belter. Some good signs. Big week in the market though, Smyth saying 9, 10, centre mid, RCB, LB very much needed and would prioritise signings in that order

I missed the game today as on my way to Norwich.
Just shows how we see how individuals play compared to others.
The YEP saying Somerville and Ayling our best 2 players with James not so good.
Biscuit bones injured again I hear.
Maybe put Joseph up front at the weekend if we don`t sign anyone by then?

It seems like CB is the club's next priority though. Nat Phillips and Taylor Harwood-Bellis on the list.
I think Phillips would be cheaper, but Harwood Bellis has the potential to go all the way. That would be a huge signing

Bellis could be a loan I’d imagine. Cracking player. Be happy with either. We lack a goal threat though big time

no idea what the wait is with incimings. getting ridiculous

I’m sure I read an article from Phil Hay about the way the 49ers go about recruiting. Said they don’t like to panic but and rush into signings, like to do plenty of scouting first. I just wonder if that’s what the delay is plus getting grips with FFP. Tbh I can see some sense in that as to not make same mistakes as orta etc. but as you say Tad time is certainly ticking away !

Lot's of teams have been away on pre season tours, so deals will probably start to be done as teams start to return. There's still a month left of the transfer window, so plenty of deals to be done yet.

I think will bring in 2 more this week. I think one of them will be Byram.

4 year deal for cresswell

Great news, takes the number 5 shirt too, hopefully cements himself as a starter.

Apparently Byram has signed a one year deal.

Nat Phillips still been linked

think he will start strjuik/cooper first game but a great chance to break through properly this season

Brandon Williams also being linked

I would be more than happy with Williams.
Picked him out several weeks ago as a possibility and unfortunately Hjelde not kicked on and might be let go.
Byram makes sense too as he can cover RB and LB .
Hamer and Stewart would be good additions to the team too.

A sports reporter on twitter with about 400k followers (so seems legit) saying Nat Phillips meeting Leeds representatives tomorrow.. would be a solid signing for the right price. We’ve got to get the strikers sorted though as a matter of urgency.
